I've just commented-out the sloppy statement about size in the leader, which has been there at least a year. The plants spread by rhizomes, to form beds. This needs to be clarified, rather than implying that in a plant (connected by rhizomes) 40 metres across, the leaves and stems are all connected to one point at the base. I've not done this because it also really needs a reliable citation, as does the leaf size, as it's one of those things that get distorted by heresay. If you can help with citation, please do. As for how big a plant will grow in a pond, this seems a useless statement: it will grow to fill most ponds! – subject to competition. I suspect the writer was alluding to largest leaf size. <span style="font-family: 'Brush script MT', cursive;font-size:1.4em;vertical-align:middle;"> [[User:Trev M|Trev M ]]&nbsp;[[User_talk:Trev_M|~&nbsp;]]</span> 14:50, 12 September 2010 (UTC)
